Hezekiah Walker Coming to Kampala

Gospel must be wearing an ear to ear smile because after Don Moen thrilling Kampala just the other week, another gospel power-house is
set for Kampala.

Hezekiah Walker will be performing live at Liberty Church,
Lugala, on June 27, it was announced last week. The day before, Walker will be involved
in a cancer charity dinner at Speke Resort Munyonyo. Cancer has recently been
identified as an emerging major health issue in a country traditionally more
afraid of malaria and communicable conditions such as HIV/Aids.

Walker will
be helping the fight against cancer, alongside a string of other gospel
artistes including Exodus and Judith Babirye. Many will ask who Walker is, but if you
listen to gospel music, you have most probably listened to his music. Walker is a Grammy
award-winning choir director and church pastor.

With a career spanning over three decades, Walker has collaborated with Justin
Timberlake, P Diddy and Whitney Houston; he recorded more than a dozen
chart-topping albums and became the face of the black Gospel choir with his
classic hits Souled Out, Grateful and I Need You To Survive.

His most recent collection, titled Azusa The Next Generation, is
philosophically pondering the past generations of believers who influenced his
life - like the late Bishop Kenneth Moales, to whom the CD is dedicated.

The first Azusa generation was that
pioneering multi-racial sect that gathered at a rundown horse stable at 312 Azusa Street in
a Los Angeles
ghetto in spring 1906.

There one-eyed preacher William J Seymour kicked off a Pentecostal revival
that lingered for almost 10 years and gave birth to a national Pentecostal
Movement espousing a holiness lifestyle, speaking in tongues, faith healing and
admonitions of an impending Rapture.

In a manner, Walker
is repackaging this faith that kept him during his adolescence, and making it
relatable to today's youth. Patrons will have to part with Shs 10,000 for the
concert, whose proceeds will go towards the fight against cancer.
